Customer Review

On goes the camera when you pops up, collapsed from when. There is the zoom, the Record button and a photo-release (and of course, an operating lever for the display menu. Less is more.

This is also true for the missing memory. With the camera you have to buy a Micro SD card !!! Do not forget !!! The camera has no own memory.

Toll is the mechanical mounting of the optics, is super gedämft with Verackeln, very, very great!
Toll is also the Lichtaufhellig when shooting in dark conditions, very, very good, I think!

Not's great that Sony for years and years in all cameras incorporating one and the same image sensor. Everything else (Resolution and Zoom) are only digitally counted nice (interpolated). That's ridiculous and slightly progressive.

Really bad is the software Sony Home Memories ... can virtually nothing! And the format of movies is not supported by Windows Movie Maker, the camera also can not be found for reading.
I am absolutely dismayed! It can only be (10 x longer than the movie itself) are converted to mp4, avi or no other film format.
A description there is for dealing with his films NOT!

From movies a new beginning and a new ending can be defined (the rest will be deleted, but it will be created as a copy in the same folder) and film sequences can be joined together. NO VIDEO CUT !!! Importing the movies from the camera via Sony HM remain copies on the camera so that there must be deleted separately again.
This software has an outdated and not intuitive that differs from Windows Design and is very awkward to use.

Unfortunately, you can not use the camera (despite USB connection) as memory, so invite some from the PC to the stick in the camera, as read-only.
